3D Printing

Fully dressed Fly Egg 100. Flys nice, but takes a bit more throttle than I'd like for lift. Removing the landing legs helps (which probably aids not only in weight savings, but gets rid of some drag from the prop air current).

I have an Ariens Zoom 34 zero turn mower. Last spring was quite wet here and it would get stuck when mowing. The stock rear rims and tires were very narrow at 18 x 6.5-8 and would just sink into the mud.

I wanted to mount much wider wheels and tires to get some floatation, but with the available tire sizes, diameter had to be increased as well. I decided on 20 X 11-10 tires.

The fenders were trimmed to allow clearance for the tires. Mud and lawn debris could be slung up into the now exposed wiring within the fender covers.

I've been upgrading my TAZ 3 to TAZ 5+ specifications. I've decided to go with modified Mangrove development parts for the z-axis at this point. Before I tear the rig back down I thought I'd share it's current state. Here are some photos of the build with Kauri z-axis bits.
